Get the current alarm state from --details output

[RosiersRobin]

❓ Question

I was wondering on how I could get the current state of the alarm, like Armed, away or stay. I can't seem to find anything related to the current state of the alarm?

If you're set up with your alarm panel, then just:

# Dump alarm panel status 
ultrasync --details

Or, a live feed will be more like:

# Dump alarm panel status 
ultrasync --watch

But that gives you all the zones. I would like to get just the main state of the alarm

like here;

So what state -> Arm Away, Arm Stay Disarmed. There currently is no option for that, right?

[caronc]

It's in the response, but yeah, you'd need to filter it out. You could use a tool such as jq to do it for example.

ultrasync --details | jq <your filters here>

I've looked into the code, but I don't quit understand how you determine the current alarm state. (trying to implement this in PHP)

I reviewed the code just now. You're right, there isn't a whole lot of detail in the result set since it's just the bank status that is being printed. I thought for some reason that i made it so it would print more details.

It doesn't really look like there is an option to get exactly what you want at this time. We can leave this ticket open and enhance the details output

If it could be narrowed down to just like "status", that would be awesome.

I did dig in the source, trying to replicate the build for just one area, to get the status, but I don't seem to get it going. Especially struggeling with the following parts;

bank_state': bank_states[math.floor(x / 8) * 17:
                                          (math.floor(x / 8) * 17) + 17]

found in

ultrasync/ultrasync/main.py

Line 765 in 0f37636

'bank_state': bank_states[math.floor(x / 8) * 17:

and

ultrasync/ultrasync/main.py

Line 811 in 0f37636

vbank = [int(area['bank_state'][s:s + 2], 16) & mask
